Todd Snyder Unveils the Best Trench You Don't Own Yet, Among Other Essentials

For those who don't know Todd Snyder, he's part of a select group we like to call "Men Who Clearly Know What They're Doing." Last week, we checked out the eponymous collection from this Ralph Lauren vet and former head designer at J.Crew, and now we're officially calling dibs on the trench.

"The entire collection is built around essential pieces, like, 'Let's make the best trench coat,'" he told us. "It's the nuances that make things interesting. When I was at Ralph, John Varvatos said, 'Menswear is not revolutionary, it's evolutionary,' and I believe in that statement. I wanted to do something different."

Hence the single-breasted, nylon/cotton trench with epaulettes and a cashmere-infused zip-out liner. Hot damn. The rest of the line involves similar detail, applying old-school English tailoring to American vintage. Rakish bowties also showed up to the party, and we're calling those, too, by the way.
